Are you looking for a highly accurate, hard hitting, medium weight pellet in .22 cal.? An extremely versatile and consistent pellet which shoots well from many air guns? Clean, with tight tolerances in weight and diameter? Your answer is the new H&N Baracuda 18.
What’s the pellet's purpose? Our goal was to launch a new high-end, all-purpose pellet for longer distances – a pellet that’s perfect for target shooting, hunting and pest control. The chosen weight of 18.13 grain/ 1.175 g closes the gap between the well-known H&N Baracuda Match and H&N Field Target Trophy. This weight makes it suitable for sub 12-ft.lbs air guns which are very popular in the UK.
So far, they were successfully tested at 50 yards in the following guns (in alphabetical order):
AGN Vulcan 2
Air Arms S510
Air Venturi Avenger
BSA R10
Daystate Safari
FX Crown
FX Dreamline
FX Impact
Hatsan AT44-10
Kral Puncher Breaker
Umarex Gauntlet
Weihrauch HW 100
In all of them, the pellets were repeatedly able to produce shot groups of an inch and less (10 shots).
The H&N Baracuda 18 is long enough to be fed reliably into the barrel, but not too long to jam magazines. The pellets will be available in the common head size of 5.52 mm and are packed in secure screw-one tins of 200.
The new pellet will be available in the US at the end of April. Other countries will follow soon.
Best regards
